Random Text Introduction to Python Exercise
The English language is redundant: not every sequence of letters forms
a word, and not every sequence of words forms an intelligible sentence.
The patterns of word choice vary between different authors. You can generate
surprising messages, with much of the style maintained (but none of the
meaning) by duplicating the nearest and next-nearest neighbor correlations
between words in an otherwise random sequence.
